+ +## Module Operation + +Both variants of the Arduino Pro 4G Module are designed for use with the Portenta family. To operate, these modules require a compatible carrier and a board from the Portenta family. The specific compatibilities are: + +- **Arduino Portenta Mid Carrier**: Compatible with all boards from the Portenta family. +- **Arduino Portenta Max Carrier**: Only compatible with the Portenta X8 board. + +The use of the Pro 4G Modules is facilitated through a dedicated Arduino library. For detailed instructions on how to implement and use these modules, refer to the user manual of the Portenta Mid Carrier. This user manual provides all necessary guidelines to ensure proper setup and functionality. + +## Mechanical Information + +

+This section mainly describes the mechanical dimensions of the Arduino Pro 4G Module, both variants. All dimensions are measured in millimeters (mm), and the dimensional tolerances are ±0.15 mm unless otherwise specified. +
